Inclination those tater recipes!
I've had this cookbook for years. Recently my daughter was visiting and spied it in the pantry. She started marking the recipes she wanted to save, and it turned out to be so many that I decided to get one for her. Delicious recipes!

Spud Sunday: Spicy Skins
You could eat a mountain of those…
So proclaimed dwelling sis, having started to munch through a plateful of spicy lunch spuds. Said spuds were more-ish alright. It was a careful run thing as to whether I would manage to take an acceptable photograph before having eaten them all myself. Lucky for you I did, huh?

How many could you eat?
These spicy baked potato skins were the first id I tried from Paul Gayler’s book A Passion For Potatoes, which was recommended to me by Will from Recipe Be wonky curry favour with. I guess he had a hunch that I just might like a book with wall-to-wall potato recipes, while I, for my part, am inclined to pay attention to someone who puts Guinness in his reuben melts.

Harissa and friends
This specific recipe had caught my eye because it called for harissa paste. Harissa paste was one of the must-bring-back food souvenirs from my jaunt to Tunisia last year, where it is the condiment of choice. It’s a hot chili/garlic paste, usually with a few other spices thrown in. The paste that I have mentions 3 rare types of chili pepper plus garlic, salt, coriander and caraway. I brought back 2 tubes of the creations from my travels and they had, umm, languished in the cupboard. Until now. Until these. I might be running out of harissa paste soon.
Spicy Potato Skins
This is adapted slight from Paul Gaylers original recipe for Moroccan Baked Potato Skins. I’ve used less oil and not sliced the potatoes so thickly as he suggested. I actually just think of these as spicy...

Moomins cook up recipe book The Guardian
18.01.10
From the unflappable Moominmamma's syrup to clash autumn coughs and colds to Moominpappa's spiced mulled wine for a frosty night, the culinary skills of Tove Jansson's much-loved Moomins are set to be revealed in a cookbook later this year.
Composition inspiration from Jansson's descriptions of life in Moominvalley, a place where "very often unexpected and disturbing things against to happen, but nobody ever had time to be bored, and that is always a good thing", Finnish writer Sami Malila has created a series of 150 "forest" recipes which will be published in The Moomins Cookbook this July, superb with original illustrations by Jansson.
Jansson, who died in 2001, wrote and illustrated nine Moomin books in out-and-out. Her gently eccentric characters and their friends have captured children's hearts since they first appeared in the 1940s – and teeth of having no mouths in her drawings, the Moomins generally manage to eat well. "Moominpappa was busy on the veranda, making slug in a barrel," she writes in Finn Family Moomintroll. "He put in almonds and raisins, lotus juice, ginger, sugar and nutmeg flowers, one or two lemons, and a two of pints of strawberry liqueur to make it specially good. Now and again he had a taste ... It was good."

Does anyone have any intriguing potato dishes they make? I am trying to find something other than the normal chips, wedges, mashed, baked or potato bake dish. I have a stout family and am finding it hard to come up with new recipes. Thanks. :)
Potato and cheese pie! Chop up the parboiled potatoes, put them in a casserole dish and fill with cheese lip... then pour grated cheese on top and bake in the oven. You could put some choped up meat or sausages in with it also!

Potato Bon-bons: Peel and boil one large potato until soft. Mash potato. Add 1 tablespoon butter. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla distillation. Start adding powdered confectioners sugar (about a box, all told) slowly, stirring well; then form into a ball and cycle out to make dough.

What are some good Russian potato recipes?
Mar 09, 2008 by Jeremy | Posted in Cooking & Recipes
My mom's of Russian descent, but since my kinsmen's been in America for over 100 years, I don't have a lot of recipes. I like potatoes and I know they are a staple in Russia. If anyone has any fair Russian potato recipes please post them here. I like cooking new things.
POTATOES RUSSKA
Cut up systematic potatoes about 1 1/2 ", cook with sauerkraut or red cabbage in beef broth if you have it (less if you are using sauercraut) cook until agonizing-(drain if using water) serve with sour cream and fresh (or dry) dill weed. Uncontrived and common dish and like most Russian dishes has flexibility depending how much $$$ you have or whats handy...
Serve with Black bread and fresh butter
The above mixture is also used in a filling for pirozhki, a lovely little pie using a soft sweet bread dough or puff pastry. A plain undefiled cheese like feta is sometimes crumbled into it. When baked large they are called pirogi...The potatoes are diced smaller of class....(World Encyclopedia of Food) Maybe those recipes above are modern recipes but for the most part rich and poor ate peasant fashion foods only the rich had meat added....

garlic & butter salt potato recipes?
Jun 26, 2006 by cherrie_pie_69 | Posted in Cooking & Recipes
I'm looking for a garlic and butter Attic salt potato recipe, I've looked all over and can only find ones for mashed potatoes. This is not what I'm looking for, I have small whole potatoes that I'm planning on using. Any recipes would be much appreciated! thanks :)
A unpretentious one:
Boil the salt potatoes til tender.
Melt 1/2 stick butter in a pan.
Add 2 tbsps. minced garlic.
Saute on norm heat for 4-5 minutes--don't let garlic burn.
Throw in the potatoes and toss with marinated and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle with minced parsley.
(You can also cut the salt potatoes in half before adding to the butter.)
Have a ball!
